Hey there, I apologise for the delay in announcing this, but the long weekend kinda threw me off. Anyway, Mike Norris(Senior Technical Officer) and Dave Wilson (Senior Network Engineer) with HEAnet, the lovely people who provide the internet and a host of other facilities (including the National information Server, Caching, Listserv) to all the universities and colleges in Ireland, are coming to give a talk in DCU tomorrow night. The talk is on what HEAnet are all about, and all going well there'll be a wee reception afterwards. Hope to see you all in XG21 at 7pm tomorrow evening. We're eternally trying to encourage speakers to come to DCU (a la TCD's NetSoc so could people please make an effort) thanks, orly
Interesting questions to get people to ask might include: "Where's our bloody ATM?" "Given that eircom drop lines left, right and centre [1], when are HEANet planning to implement redundancy on college links?" "Have you evaluated alternative suppliers to eircom, given their consistently poor service?" "Do you even have a Service Level Agreement with eircom?" "Why, given the ease with which squid supports transparent caching and intercache communication, is HEANet not actively pursuing a cache mesh for HEANet sites?" "What are you doing to improve HEANet problem reporting response times[3] ?" [1] Not that they've dropped any of our[2] lines in the last six months or more [2] ireland.com [3] It was a good 15 minutes between the line going down and the ticket being opened last time DCU's line had a problem. -- "If you do not have a personality, one will be assigned to you by human resources" - Dilbert's Boss.
